Cruise ship worker shares common mistake many first-time cruisers make Virgin Cruises expert Lucy Southerton has revealed the common mistake many first-time cruisers make when booking their maiden voyage.
However, she acknowledges that long ocean voyages aren't for everyone, saying: "There are those people who want to spend 15 days at sea, reading their book, having no internet access, and there are some people who will say 'I can't think of anything worse than that'.".
According to Lucy, the biggest blunder is selecting a cruise with too many sea days.
First-time cruisers often make the mistake of not giving enough importance to their travel insurance, warns Lucy.
The 28 year old, who shares her insights on her YouTube channel 'Cruising as Crew', says that newbies often get it wrong when choosing their first cruise.
